    i have the same promblem i have even switched jacks around the house and still nothing so i opened it up and i think i could be the fuses inside because when i turn on the dvd i hear a clicking sound inside the subwoofer but it does not turn on so it gets power but it loses it somewhere because it does not turn at all could it be the fuses ?

MOst of the time it is the jack that the cable plugs into that has the problem. .
Also the jack is not broken but HAS broken the solder connection TO the jack.
If you know someone who can safely take it apart and solder, let them try.

My Panasonic TV model no: TH-32D310Q Green light is blinking

A blinking green light on your Panasonic TH-32D310Q TV typically indicates an issue with the TV's power supply. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Unplug the TV from the power outlet and wait for at least 5 minutes. Then, plug it back in and see if the green light stops blinking.

Check the power cord and make sure it is securely plugged into both the TV and the power outlet. If the cord is loose, try tightening it or using a different power outlet.

Check the TV's manual or website to see if there are any troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue.

If none of these steps work, it may be a more serious issue with the TV's power supply or internal components. In this case, you may need to contact Panasonic South Africa for assistance or bring the TV to a professional repair shop.

The subwoofer SP-PWM505 won't turn on.

Make sure its not set to Auto. Also check for a fuse in the back. Unplug the amp side and with the sub plugged in touch the RCA. You should hear noise from sub. Try this last. Some may say this is not good for the sub. Im in the business and never have seen it cause a problem

No power. Will not come on with remote or manually. Switched power cords with no luck. Green light on subwoofer off as well.

On the bottom board is an electrolytic capacitor (C975) that might have failed. The top will be convex (bulged out). Since this is in the power supply, the unit will not work. Also: Check resistor R4843 and diode D4709 for charring on the board (indicates extreme heat). I have been trying to find the value of that resistor and so far no luck. Replacing the cap brought the set to life, but there is still a problem since the sound will cut off momentarily randomly. The receiver unit is at fault, not the sub unit. So I could use some help as well!! Good luck.

SP-PWM505 subwoofer does not stay on

Well i had exactly the same problem, my sub turned off right away when i turned the whole thing on. Well i opened the subwoofer and was trying to find out something unusual, i took out, i believe, internal amp, well, whatever that thing is, under the lid. Which one is screwed with 6 copper screws, so you unscrew those screws, lift that lid and that whole board comes out. On that board i find something like burn around one of the parts.

you can see it in the pick, the part q2902, then i contacted JVC. At the beginning they said i need to take the whole thing to service center and so on. But later i made them to tell me what kind of part that is, so here :http://www.jvcservice.com/store/ProductDetail.asp?Part=KTC3199/GL/-T
bought soldering gun in home depot for $15, returned after i was done. And that is it, just have to replace it, but total cost only $12 ($5 part +$7 shipping)
